It's mesmerizing to me that Obama has no interest in returning this country to the rule of law...
US President Barack Obama risks creating "future Guantanamos" by continuing his predecessor's policy of indefinitely holding Al-Qaeda suspects, a prominent Democrat warned on Tuesday.
Senator Russ Feingold said he was "troubled" by Obama's policies, warning the practice of holding some suspected terrorists indefinitely risked being "effectively enshrined as acceptable in our system of justice."
Feingold warned the current administration risked mimicking the policies of the Bush administration, which "claimed the right" to detain anyone, anywhere, he said.
During a major security speech at the National Archives in May, Obama acknowledged for the first time that a legal framework could be established to hold the most dangerous US detainees indefinitely without trial.

I'm so confused because I always thought this was EXACTLY the kind of thing that made the left hate W so much.

These allegations are completely groundless and false. He has a D after his name. But let me go check Huffington Post just to be sure.

Yeah, that's it.
LOL. So far those are the only things I can find to distinguish him from Bush.

I still see nothing wrong with Guantanamo. If he is creating new ones...then good for him.
